Alpha Protocol Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

There's a cool surprise waiting in the Taipei safehouse. Initially bland compared to the previous efforts, heading to the shower will unveil the true set-up.

Contact Hong-Shi

This Triad boss is well protected, and you need to get as much information out of him as possible, so act professionally and do not threaten.

Acting in this manner will unlock the next mission, and will gain support from the Triads later in the game. New options will also be available in Clearinghouse.

Assault Triad Headquarters in Slums

In the alleyway, crouch and head into the building on the left. Sneak to the end of the hallway and use the doorway as cover. Take the guard out as he passes by. If you triggered the alarm through the first door, the Triads aren't difficult to kill as they aren't wearing armour. If you set off the alarm, you can deactivate in the first room on the right when inside. There's also a computer to hack here for some extra info on the Triad members you've been sent to kill.

Re-enter the corridor and head up the stairs. Once at the top you need to wait for the camera to move to the left and make your move past it.

Pick the lock on the next door and take cover to the right. The first Lieutenant, "Red Eye" Jin waits inside. When he moves past Mike's position and to the right of the room, sneak up behind him and put him to the floor. Now pick up the data disk on the desk and hack the computer to disable the camera outside.

Now head downstairs and visit the room where you received the information on the Triad members. If you did the dirty work earlier, there's no need to take anyone out here, as it's already been done. If not, sneak up on the guard for a single button kill.

Move to left side of the double doorway. You must take out the guard who walks from left to right before he turns. Catch him as he walks past the door.

Head over to the stairs and take down the guard at the bottom. Wait for the guard up top to walk away and pursue him up the stairs. Feel free to open fire with the assault rifle here, as it's unlikely either one of the guards will reach an alarm. Follow the route round and through the next two doors.

Head through the first doorway once inside, and take cover underneath the window. A guard will walk from left to right, and will continue past Mike's position. He enters the alleyway next to the room Mike hides in, so follow his marker until a hole in the wall appears. When he walks past, slip outside and take him down, before heading inside and up the ladder on the left.

Wait for the guard to walk away from the ladder and take him down. Go back downstairs and through the hole in the wall. Sneak across to the building where Tony Tseng waits, and take out the guard who patrols the ground floor.

Move up the stairs and angle the camera so you can see Tony. Follow him when he turns away for a quick kill. Sneak across the connecting platform and hack the computer to gather information on why Hong Sui's lieutenants started rebelling.

Use the zip-line to open the door and then come back to the area. Enter the room beneath the zip-line and pick up $1000. Equip your tranquilizer and move to the right of the open door. There's an enemy up ahead who needs to be taken care of before advancing.

Move forward to the and search the room round the corner. There's $500 in a suitcase, and some ammo ready to pick up. Now return to where the guard was and search the bottom floor. Once finished, head up the ladder. Pop through the hole in the wall until you see a turret. Move downstairs to find a suitcase with $2000 and dossier information inside.

Head back up the stairs to the hole in the wall, and drop down.

Enter the room on the right to find a duffel bag containing $1500. Exit the room and wait for the guard to move from left to right. When there's enough time, follow him and and take him down.

Now move towards the doorway on the left, and ascend the stairs. Collect the ammo in the room and then climb down the ladder, before healing yourself in the next building's medical station (if necessary). Take cover at the doorway and wait for the Triad member to move away. Strike as soon as the opportunity appears.

Equip your assault rifle and head towards the end of the alley. Through the doorway you'll see two Triad goons talking. Gun them down before they finish. There's two lots of cash to pick up on the table, so do this before picking the lock.

Climb down the ladder and take cover at the first wall. Two guards will appear, one on Mike's level and one a little higher. Wait for the lower guard to stop out of sight and shoot a dart into the other guard's head. When the second guard returns, use those mighty fists to erase him from the equation.

In the next room two guards need to be eliminated. In predictable fashion, one will walk towards Mike's position, so take him out when he turns. The other is stationary, so progress straight towards him for a handy double-strike.

Now enter the room to the west to pick up a data disk.

Cross the main room and open the door, taking cover at the right hand side. There's guards looking through the window here, so you can't strike as easily as usual. Wait for the guard inside the room to head away from the window, and quickly put a tranquilizer in him. Only do this of there's nobody looking through from the outside.

There's many ways to approach the next section, and making a party of things certainly works. If you want to go in guns blazing then do, as you'll be able to hack the auto-turrets so they help you out, and also pick up vital information in the room.

Go for Eric Chung first, as he's the strongest. Once he's dead, hack the turrets to your favour and kill the rest of the guards. An ambush will follow, but you're now heavily protected via the turrets and your own position. See off the new wave of opponents and sweep the area for items; of which there are many.

Complete the mission by following the marker.

After the mission you'll meet with Hong Shi again. If you want to gain reputation points, choose a professional stance in every time you can. Don't try to blackmail him or ask for money unless you want to sever your ties with him and the Triads.
